> there's lots of money to be made in downmarket production

This is almost certainly what the commenter is targeting. I'd guess that and/or the adult film industry.



I don't think so -- I think it's a reference to Gollum, the apes in "Planet of the Apes," the de-aged Moss Tarkin (sp?)... basically CG people. That work is almost entirely at the high end, because it takes a lot of digital art work to make them look realistic.

This is moving down market, fwiw, but it's not disrupting traditional moviemaking. It's a fast-growing but tiny niche that I believe will saturate before it comes close to replacing the entire industry. (Full disclosure: I work with cameras professionally, so maybe I'm not an unbiased observer of the industry.)
